Few reasons why Muslims should not celebrate "New Year"

1.) As Muslims we have our own Hijri calendar, we must reject gregorian calendar because it is not from Islam. The gregorian calendar was made by Pope Gregory (a pagan worshipper). According to our hijri calendar the new year actually begins on the first of Muharram.

2.) On such a day majority of people listen to music, drink alcohol and commit adultery.
This is a great evil and a Muslim should stay away from such things.

3.) It is against the spirit of Islam.

4.) What exactly is there to celebrate?
Thousands of Muslims are dying and starving to death in Africa, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq...etc and you want to enjoy your life?

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know. 15:3

Hmmm... I wasn't aware adultery was part of the new year's process?...

I just like the new year's resolution. It's good to keep your eyes towards the future, and to pledge yourself to being a better person. :)

When thousands of muslims are starving to death in africa and dying of civil war related issues in asia, why are rich arab sheikhs not helping them out with petro-dollars and instead spending money on camel races and desert safaris !

Also why are muslim terrorists killing increasing number of muslim worshippers in mosques in suicide
bombings!

Don't think God would wish to have anything to do with such vicious dudes .

I don't think you're right by drawing an argument from things that Muslims do to things that Muslims should do.

What are you doing on the internet, then?

The gregorian calendar was made by Pope Gregory (a pagan worshipper).
By any use of the word (even as a pejorative by you Abrahamics,) Gregory was not a pagan.

2.) On such a day majority of people listen to music, drink alcohol and commit adultery.
This is a great evil and a Muslim should stay away from such things.
On any given day a majority of people listen to music, drink alcohol, and commit adultery by Muslim standards. Should Muslims thus stay away from the whole world?

3.) It is against the spirit of Islam.
How?

4.) What exactly is there to celebrate?
The exact same thing that Muslims celebrate on the Islamic New Year.

Thousands of Muslims are dying and starving to death in Africa, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq...etc and you want to enjoy your life?
Explain exactly how the suffering of some should dictate suffering to all? That's just grossly pessimistic.

I mean, be a holiday humbug if you want, but your "reasons" for why Muslims ought not to celebrate New Year's Day are really petty.

I suppose you mean the sheikhs of al saudiyya? (Saudi Arabia) The same one who say Iranians are not muslims due to their nationality? The same ones supporting the zionists in Palestine? I could go on all day about how well versed and pious these holy shyokh are, but there really isn't a point.

Allah Ta'ala is innocent from those who kill in his name, For Allah forbid such evil acts. Not only this but Allah Ta'ala has forbid the act of suicide.

Muhammad had stated thus , " The greatest Jihad is the Jihad against one's own self."

If the Jihad against one's own self is incomplete, it means that one is vicious instead of virtuous, and will spread more evil than good in the external Jihad, as he will not be intuitively guided by God, and will also be lacking in critical thinking skills to properly discriminate between right and wrong.

Based on the amount of fireworks going off a couple of hours ago here it seems like the majority of Muslims don't agree with you :grinning:

It's good that they are not so petty minded and humourless as you seem to be.

Actually majority of Muslims agree with me. Those who celebrate new year are mostly those who dont practice Islam. No true Muslim would ever celebrate such filth.

Chinese also have their own New Year. It is when they celebrate all of their birthdays. Traditionally they do not celebrate individual birthdays. It does not occur on January 1 but on some other day.
